What changed
Google Search Central introduced dedicated Search Console performance reports for visibility within generative AI features in Search and Discover.
Why it matters
AI search optimization now has a clearer measurement boundary. Strong answers, crawlable architecture, visible evidence and accurate structured data still matter—and reporting should connect visibility to useful business actions.
What to review next
- Which customer or operating workflow is actually affected?
- What evidence would show that a change is worth making?
- Which permissions, data, performance or recovery boundaries could change?
- What is the smallest verified release that can test the decision safely?
